The Alamitos Beach Etudes

Christina Lopriore

A combination of triplets played in one hand while notes with regular values are played in the other hand at the same time.

Indications instructing the player to put special emphasis on notes.

Indications instructing the player to play gradually louder (crescendo) or softer (diminuendo).

A blocked chord whose notes are played quickly in succession which gives the chord a harp-like sound.

Also called the damper pedal, it is the rightmost pedal on the piano and used to sustain notes by moving the dampers away from the strings.

Notes whose values are determined by a subdivision into three-note groupings instead of two or four.
